This week hasn't gone according to plan!!

WARNING LONG POST!!

Hello all. My last post I was talking about how excited I was to attack my house cleaning this week. SOOOO EXCITED!! hehe:) Anyway as many of you know Reese came home sick last Wednesday with a sore throat and stomach ache.

My OB appointment was last Thursday and my doctor told me to make sure to get Reese tested for the Flu. So off to the Doctor we went. The test was negative. But all the symptoms matched the flu. The doctor told me to keep him home till he could keep his temp down below 100 degrees without medication for 24 hours. So he didn't go back to school till Monday.

Sunday Camron and Daylen came down with it. My sweet husband who has no immune system at all. Catches everything the kids bring home. He was soooo sick. I felt sooo bad for him. He stayed home from work Monday and Tuesday. Daylen didn't get it as bad and stayed home only one day on Monday.

Luckily I have the most wonderful In-Laws in the whole world and they have taken Mason so he doesn't come down with it. I think I have had a light case of it but not to bad. But the point is that I haven't done anymore house cleaning. I'm getting really stressed about it. Because before I know it. Lily will be here. Hopefully things will start to get better and we can get everything done in time.

We bought Mason a mattress to go on the bunk bed in Reese's room. We are going to get him a dresser and move him in with Reese so we can get started on Lily's room. I'm so excited to get her room going. Here is a preview of what it will look like.



We are so excited. We are painting her walls pink and I was able to get the wall hangings and curtains that go with it. Camron is repainting the crib and changing table to a dark brown. He is already starting to spoil her. She isn't even here and he's already wrapped around her finger. It's so cute!! Hopefully Mason can come home tomorrow and I can get some cleaning and disinfecting done so I can start back on my house cleaning next week. I'm so grateful for all of the people in my life that care about us so much. Thank you Rob and Trudy for helping us with Mason. We miss him soooo much but we are so glad he doesn't have to get this yucky stuff we have all had. I pray that Camron can get over this without his Chrone's interfering. So far he hasn't had any problems with his chrone's from this. Daylen has been the least sick and I'm also thankful for that. I hate to see my kids so miserable. It breaks my heart.

Update: While I was writing this Trudy called me and told me that Mason has diarrhea really bad. She wants to keep him but is really stressed he might get dehydrated. I'm not sure if they will have him come home yet because we are all still sick. Hopefully he's not getting what we've all had. I'm hoping it's just from not being home that is causing it. They are going to the store to get some Imodium AD and Destine for his bum. I just hope he feels better soon. I'm not sure how I feel about him not being with me when he's sick. But with me also being sick it might be for the best. I miss him so much. I don't like being away from him especially this long. But I'm still very grateful for Rob and Trudy. They are the best and are so good with him.

Nesting

It's official nesting has started. I've spent 7 hours today in my kitchen house cleaning. I took all the decorations off my kitchen cabinets and cleaned them. Wiped every nick and cranny. Pulled the fridge out and cleaned underneath that. Pulled everything out of my cupboards and wiped everything down. I'm done but now I have to start on the rest of the house. It's going to be a long week. I just hope I can get everything done before I kill myself in the process.

Meet Me in the Stairwell

MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL
PLEASE READ TO THE VERY END, IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

'MEET ME IN THE STAIRWELL'

You say you will never forget where you were when
you heard the news On September 11, 2001.
Neither ill I.

I was on the 110th floor in a smoke filled room
with a man who called his wife to say 'Good-Bye.' I
held his fingers steady as he dialed. I gave him the
peace to say, 'Honey, I am not going to make it, but it
is OK..I am ready to go.'

I was with his wife when he called as she fed
breakfast to their children. I held her up as she
tried to understand his words and as she realized
he wasn't coming home that night.

I was in the stairwell of the 23rd floor when a
woman cried out to Me for help. 'I have been
knocking on the door of your heart for 50 years!' I said.
'Of course I will show you the way home - only
believe in Me now.'

I was at the base of the building with the Priest
ministering to the injured and devastated souls.
I took him home to tend to his Flock in Heaven. He
heard my voice and answered.

I was on all four of those planes, in every seat,
with every prayer. I was with the crew as they
were overtaken. I was in the very hearts of the
believers there, comforting and assuring them that their
faith has saved them.

I was in Texas , Virginia , California , Michigan , Afghanistan .
I was standing next to you when you heard the terrible news.
Did you sense Me?

I want you to know that I saw every face. I knew
every name - though not all knew Me. Some met Me
for the first time on the 86th floor.

Some sought Me with their last breath.
Some couldn't hear Me calling to them through the
smoke and flames; 'Come to Me... this way... take
my hand.' Some chose, for the final time, to ignore Me.
But, I was there.

I did not place you in the Tower that day. You
may not know why, but I do. However, if you were
there in that explosive moment in time, would you have
reached for Me?

Sept. 11, 2001, was not the end of the journey
for you. But someday your journey will end. And I
will be there for you as well. Seek Me now while I may
be found. Then, at any moment, you know you are
'ready to go.'

I will be in the stairwell of your final moments.

God
During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are
doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it
is only 1 minute.) All you have to do is the
following:

Stop and think and appreciate God's power
in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to
Him. If you are not ashamed to do this, follow the
instructions. Jesus said, 'If you are ashamed of Me, I will be
ashamed of you before My Father.'

If you are not ashamed, copy and send this message...only
if you believe 'Yes, I love my God. He is my
fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and
night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do
everything. Christ is my strength.'

THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE USA MANY TIMES SO

KEEP IT GOING

What's wrong with this picture?

If you look closely at the picture above, you will note that all the Marines pictured are bowing their heads. That's because they're praying.

This incident took place at a recent ceremony honoring the birthday of the corps, and it has the ACLU up in arms. "These are federal employees," says Lucius Traveler, a spokesman for the ACLU, "on federal property and on federal time. For them to pray is clearly an establishment of religion, and we must nip this in the bud immediately."

When asked about the ACLU's charges, Colonel Jack Fessender, speaking for the Commandant of the Corps said (cleaned up a bit), "Screw the ACLU."

GOD Bless Our Warriors, Send the ACLU to Iraq

May God Bless America , One Nation Under GOD!

What's wrong with the picture? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

GOD BLESS YOU FOR

PASSING IT ON!

I am sorry but I am not breaking this one.....Let us pray

Prayer chain for our Military...please don't break it

THIS NEEDS TO GO AROUND THE USA MANY TIMES SO

KEEP IT GOING

Mowin the Lawn

Such a change from when he was 2. I can't believe how big Daylen is getting. He begs us to mow the lawn. It's so cute!! We've decided we'll take advantage while we can. Because before we know it he won't want to do it anymore.

Trip to the Aquarium

Make an on-line slideshow at www.OneTrueMedia.com

I can't believe how much fun we had today. It was just what I needed to be with my family. We missed B.J.'s family but we still had a great time. We met at the park in Salt Lake and ate then headed over to the Aquarium in Sandy. It was so fun!! Thanks Clint for putting it together.

Nesting!!

K I saw this cartoon on someone's blog and thought it was so funny. I feel like I'm starting to get the Nesting bug already. I feel like there is so much that needs to be done before I have this baby. But getting the desire to do it is another story. Right now I want it done but I don't want to do it. Well maybe in another month it will be different because with Mason month 8 was the month.
